Apparently there was a change recently that pops old shows that you’ve watched in the past into the On Deck queue when a new season starts. Very cool. I like it. However, those shows are refusing to drop off of On Deck once my PMS weeks limit is reached. It’s currently set to 4, but I’ve changed it to 1 and it made no difference.
What am I doing wrong?
try the current plex pass server version. i.e. the latest beta
Is there legitimately a fix in there for this issue?

(Hubs) Pilots (S1 E1) could show up in On Deck.
If it matters, these aren’t pilots it’s stuff like S03E01, S04E01, etc. Is that likely to still fix it? If so, I’d rather not run a beta. I’ll just wait until its GA.

@OttoKerner Okay, it was driving me crazy so I installed it. This did not fix my issue. Any other ideas?
Does it change anything if you restart the Plex server
and close and restart the Plex client afterwards?
(just to rule out ‘caching’ as the source)
OK, it appears this behaviour is kinda known.
I have filed it as a genuine bug.
Excellent. Do you guys need anything from me?

Not yet. Unless it turns out it is not a general bug but a malfunction in your particular server.
Just to confirm: These season premieres which appear in your OnDeck currently, when did you add these episodes into your Plex library?
S06E01 of a show aired on 1/15/17, and would have been added the next day.
S03E01 of a show aired on 4/11/18, and would have been added the next day as well.
I have a total of six series that are doing this.
I to fell in to this problem of random shows being automatically added to On Deck and have tried the suggestion of setting my On Deck weeks to zero, resetting the server and then putting it to my desired time period, which did not work numerous times, so as of tonight 27/05/2018 I may have managed to fix the problem
— From the Plex Web Server on my host PC navigating to:
— Library Name “Television” in my case. --> All --> TV Shows --> By Date Viewed
— Then going to the TV Show(s) I didn’t want showing in On Deck and selecting the 3 dots and then selecting Marked Watched
— After Marking Watched which sets ALL seasons watched, I then marked the seasons of that show(s) I haven’t watched Un-Watched and it/they have disappeared from On Deck
I know it’s a lengthy process of clicking but after being frustrated about the items showing when I wasn’t currently watching them I was determined to find a solution that seems to work for now.
I hope this helps someone that comes looking for an answer about this current On Deck problem.
@poeticmute Thanks for the idea but unfortunately it didn’t seem to work once I played any show everything returned to its infuriating state of Season X Episode 1, I wouldn’t mind if it at least worked the way it’s designed, I attempted watching the episode before it and waiting the week I have on deck set to, but no I’m stuck with a dozen shows I haven’t watched in months
@Smiffy885 I thought I had found a way around it, but, after a computer reboot today I am back to the same issue as yourself and the OP where S02E01 of a show I even moved to another drive to see if that trips a new database entry shows directly in On Deck instead of Recently Added like the rest are doing and playing nice.
@poeticmute Issue is even on my Linux installation as well so it doesn’t seem to be OS specific either so I assume its an issue with the back end

Yep. Didn’t work for me either. Thanks for the idea though.
Anyone got any other ideas, other than just marking this stuff off? My On Deck is getting huge.
@fly looks like the last update fixed it for me (Version 1.13.2.5142) hope it works for you too
I just installed Version 1.13.2.5154 and I’m still seeing a ton (well, 13 shows total) of E01s for shows I haven’t watched in a long time.
